Winter semester
Summer semester
The course aims to provide the theoretical background for the computer-aided analysis of the load bearing and deformation behavior as well as the fatigue strength and fracture mechanics of cross-sections, members and structures of steel and composite construction. One also becomes familiar with the study of nonlinear load-bearing behavior of members and structures based on plasticity theory. Suitable finite elements for practical structural tasks, modeling of structures as well as simplified computer-oriented calculation methods for members and frameworks according to the 2nd order theory are presented. In addition, one gains insight into the topic of plate buckling as well as computer-oriented methods of fatigue strength and fracture mechanics.

The course aims to familiarize students with the basics of designing and constructing steel and composite bridges. The focus is on solving design, dimensioning and construction tasks of steel and composite bridge structures independently. In addition to input lectures, we offer practice examples and student research projects.

The course aims to teach the fundamentals of design, construction and dimensioning of steel and composite structures for buildings and industrial structures. For this purpose, you will become familiar with common structural systems consisting of beam-, frame- and slab-type load-bearing elements. In this course, it is shown how the systems can be suitably braced by cores, disks or bracing. Characteristic components and selected structures are presented. Independent solving of design, dimensioning and construction tasks of steel and composite structures are the focus. In addition to input lectures, we offer practice examples and student research projects.

This course offers the enhancement of skills in welding technology in steel structures. Advantages and disadvantages of various welding processes as well as factors of weldability of steels and failure modes in welded joints are presented. Construction and failure of welded joints, as well as defects and flaw inspection in welds are explained. In addition, this course includes practical exercises, the so-called “Schweißpraktikum”.

In this course, experimental investigations are carried out on current research topics, especially in the areas of: connections, stability failure and fatigue behavior of components and notch details. Through this practical course students will be shown how to design, perform and interpret the experiments to solve engineering problems. Students will also be able to transfer experimental problems they have developed themselves.
For more information, please refer to the Module Description.
Thursdays from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. (WiSe)
The course will be conducted in person. The introduction lecture will take place on 12.10.2023 in the room IAN 00/18 at 2:00 p.m. Further information will be given in the Moodle course.
The course offers the extension of the theoretical principles and design concepts of engineering timber structures to their application to specific problems and tasks. First, mechanical, chemical, and biological material properties are studied before typical engineering timber structures and associated design methods are analyzed. Also, in the course, unusual applications, control methods for quality assurance and identification of defects are emphasized.
